Practice Session Planning

Developing session plans can be the most daunting part of being a volunteer coach. Mass Youth Soccer provides session plans each season that can be used precisely or as guidelines for a practice. Session Plans are organized by Player Age Groups and by Training Themes. Each Practice Plan is designed specifically to be age appropriate. Age groups are designated in even years (i.e. U6, U8, U10, etc.) but the sessions are also appropriate for the odd year preceding the age group listed (e.g. U6 practice plans are appropriate for U5 players). If you believe that your players need more or less challenge, feel free to try Practice Plans in an older or younger age group. They are available at the following link along with an archive of session plans from previous years. You may want to search for a particular topic or you may want to download a season of plans and follow it through the season. Any questions regarding session plans or help with a coaching session you can contact Ted Doucette,
, 978-621-2138.

LYSC will reimburse the course fees for any course completed with a passing grade, please contact Ted Doucette, for reimbursement once you have successfully completed the course.

US Soccer

LYSC recommends that every coach take the two-hour on-line US Soccer National F Course: The “F” license is a 2-hour course, conducted entirely online, intended for all parents and coaches of youth players. The focus of this grassroots course is to share U.S. Soccer’s best practices in creating a fun, activity-centered and age-appropriate environment for 5-8 year old players. If you are a first-year coach, coaching a higher age group, this is still the place to start as it includes information that will be used at all age levels.

You must first create an account with the US Soccer Digital Coaching Center (DCC) and then the available courses are accessible to you.

For coaches who would like to continue coaching through travel and Grade 5/6, and beyond theUS Soccer E Coursewould be the next step. The National E course is an 18-hour course, typically held over one weekend, which covers the elementary principles of coaching and prepares interested coaches for the National D course. The course consists of a series of lectures and field sessions, and attendance is mandatory for the full duration of all course meetings.
